I believe many of these, but as I can only vote for two, I pick 17 and 18.

I'll pick 6 because it's just the perfect def, and 14, because I'm a fool for thinking it was the correct one.

16 because it feels possible, and 19 because the author
deserves a vote.

Best wishes,

Tim B

Mea culpa. This was no technical glitch. I simply missed it, buried as
it was among 30 others, including spam (and after passing through several
filters). Two dealer points and my sincere apologies.
